All Students: Before Friday, post a thoughtful and reflective comment for the past week's journal entry. Use the "journal-comments rubric."

Monday-
= =
 * 1) Read last week's entry to find out where the writer left off.
 * 2) If you haven't already responded with a thoughtful and reflective comment (use the "journal-comments rubric"), you should do that first.
 * 3) In your red and tan paper journal, make a list of all you can remember from our classroom life in the past week.
 * Think about all the things we're studying in math, reading, writing, social studies, and science.
 * What's been going on in your art, music, physical education, computer, and library classes.
 * Finally, ask yourself what sort of discussions we've been having during team time or other meetings.
 * Include all of those ideas on your list.

Tuesday-

 * 1) Choose at least one item from your list to write about. Write in your red and tan paper journal, not directly on our Wiki, yet.
 * 2) When you write, include detailed descriptions, memorable moments, ideas, questions, and feelings about that item. If someone who was not there reads your entry, they should know just what it was like, why it was important, and how it felt to experience it.

Wednesday-

 * 1) Type your journal entry into a word document. Save this document to your server folder so you can go back and edit it later if you need to
 * 2) Use your journal rubric to evaluate your writing. Make any changes.
 * 3) Follow the tutorial to post your journal entry.

Thursday and Friday- (Free Choice)

 * 1) You may choose what you'd like to add:


 * Repeat the steps for Tuesday and Wednesday for another item from your list.
 * Use Garageband to create a podcast (enhanced with pictures or just music) version of your entry and post it to the journal page (not discussion tab).
 * Or some other type of creative expression that represents your entry.
 * A song
 * A poem
 * An illustration
 * Or anything else, approved by Mr. May
